Andrew Romanoff Colorado U.S. Senate candidate
“The science is clear that our climate and communities cannot wait. Initiative 174 is the necessary action Colorado needs to take in order to facilitate a just transition to a sustainable future. The writing is on the wall. Oil and gas is a boom/bust industry and Coloradans deserve long-term, sustainable jobs as we work to protect our most precious resources of land, air, and water.”
Bill McKibben Author and founder of 350.org
“Addressing the climate crisis means reining in oil and gas production–and it seems like one good place to start would be near schoolyards and next to people’s houses. Though the oil industry will spend barrels of money to avoid any restrictions, it’s hard to imagine an easier or more modest proposition.”
Renee Millard-Chacon Founder of Womxn from the Mountain, Youth Program Coordinator at Spirit of the Sun
“With moral panic in the air, we finally have a chance to correct corruption at the expense of our suffering, by strengthening information, protection, and enforcement. STOP protecting predatory polluters contributing to human rights abuses, and START responding to America’s environmental human needs during a respiratory pandemic. Our chance to be good ancestors is NOW!”
